A highly scalable product that helps organizations solve problems easily and produces a high return on investment
Sometimes, the initial setup is hard. We don't find the components to solve the exact problem. We need to get some scripts. It can take time. The time taken for deployment depends on the processes. Complex processes take days. Sometimes, we get processes that can be completed within hours. We usually get complex processes.

Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing
We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product helps us solve problems easily and immediately."
"There are so many out-of-the-box solutions that it's difficult to find a match."
"We are a team of 37 people, and we are able to do the work that would usually need over 100 people."
"UiPath has an excellent GUI. It's an easy platform to develop on. They have lots of existing code that you can download and use. UiPath is strongly oriented toward intelligent automation, which is where we need to be. Their roadmap looks promising."
"Apart from that, UiPath Platform provides a mature tool with better functionality and better options in order to automate, and I will say that overall experience with UiPath Platform is much better when you compare it with Power Automate."
"We do monitor our ROI for every project we deploy to production, and we do see a great return on investment, and that's why we continue to use it."
"The feature of UiPath Platform that I appreciate the most is the Desktop Studio."
"We have experienced a return on investment using the solution as it has led to three million in savings since we started using it."
"I believe that UiPath opened topics of RPA and AI/ML in our company (which consequently led to a shift and much stronger orientation of our company globally towards technologies and technological areas like software development, the blockchain, IoT, etc.)."
 

Cons

"The solution must provide more AI services."
"We need to be able to span across a bigger complex network. Right now, the decision-making is based on a five step rule. It would like to see this increased, so we can take on bigger productions and work more efficiently."
"Sometimes, when an element is not there, UiPath gets stuck, and it doesn't even throw an exception."
"I would like it to better handle updates from other systems, whether it's SAP or a website. That's the thing that we struggle with. Anytime a system changes, we have to go in and modify the code."
"There could be improvements made in in terms of debugging. Troubleshooting is hard."
"UiPath needs to improve the selector and offer better integration for Python."
"I would like UiPath to have a build-in method which informs the robot's process owner how it has managed its transactions and performed through the night."
"The licensing is excessive with UiPath Platform. They have an Insights license, Robot license, and a development license. It seems you need a license to do anything different on the platform and that's frustrating."
"When the Orchestrator got upgraded and UiPath didn't get upgraded, we started getting errors regarding the managed packages, the packages were not getting upgraded."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cheap in Turkey."
"Unattended bots are more valuable than attended bots."
"UiPath attended bots are quite cheap compared to Automation Anywhere. If you bring in UiPath's unattended bots, that's expensive."
"UiPath is expensive compared to the competition."
"I am using the Community Edition and am not familiar with the cost of the paid editions."
"Licensing costs are high, but still well within a positive return on investment."
"The licensing costs for the unattended bots are a little too expensive."
"UiPath is priced to accommodate large enterprises, but it is expensive for small and medium-sized enterprises."
"It is expensive. Every product or component is built separately. All the components have a separate fee. UiPath Studio has a license cost. The cloud has a license cost, and bots have a license cost. These costs are recurring on a yearly basis. So, every product or component has to be licensed for a year, and on expiry, you have to renew it. Their licensing structure should be improved. The cost of a bot is a lot. It is more expensive as compared to some of the competitors. It is probably $8,000 for an unattended bot."
